Ho Chi Minh City is the most amazing city you will ever visit. I spent a year living in Ho Chi Minh City and it was the most incredible year of my life. This city is so incrediblY energetic and lively.

5:50 - One of the best moments of my life so far - standing in the Post office with my family on my first day in Vietnam. We stood under the photo and took a picture underneath the Ho Chi Minh painting
Thank you very much for making this video! I’ve been living in this city ever since I was born, so I really appreaciate you introducing foreign friends about our culture and history!
Just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I was born in Vietnam and have visited it quite a few times..but I haven't been back in over 12 years. Seeing all the amazing places and foods makes me miss it even more. Thank you for letting me see how Vietnam has evolved so much. I love my country!!!
I am a Vietnamese and I always visited Saigon every summer holliday school when I‘m a child. Even I had lived in Saigon around 2years before I go overseas for study but you are know more museum at Saigon than me !!! You did a good job Mr. What a amazing video ❤️
Saigon will always be in my heart because I was born there. Vietnamese people here are definitely diverse since they come from all cities of Vietnam. There are many unique places that one must see....I will be there in January because the weather will be cooler than the rest of the year....
One of the BEST video about Saigon I've ever seen. It makes me miss home sooooo much. There are places in this video I've never been to, the musems for instance. Anyway, nice work!
Wow! I'm really impressed with this episode. It really feels like a full-fledged travel show at this length and you packed it with so much great content. The e-book takes it to the next level. Thank you, Mark. Really nice work. Very enlightening and entertaining.
I'm your big fan Mark . How old is your boy now ? I'm Vietnamese American , I left my country almost a half of century and never return even I miss my relatives and friends a lot . Due to scary of fly ! ! ! I really appreciate your videos very much and thankful for your efforts to visit my birth country , Mark . visit my birth country
Last time I've been in Saigon was in 2003...lots of well known places...and so many new ones like the enlightened bridge and this huge tower.Street life is still the same: chaos but good street food at every single corner.Thank you for this video!
Thx u for the great tour video, Mark. I was born in VN and left when I was 7 in 1975. The city has grown so much. Great tips on the city's landmarks. You have inspired me to go back. . The food looks so tantalizing. I can see that you enjoyed the food with those clips at the end. Safe travel to you.
Those were very beautiful and interesting places to see . The post office looked like a place I 'd love to see. I skipped on seeing Saigon when I visiting Vietnam but only because of my two week time limit there. I don't want to rush thru a city just to say I've been there. Now I'm thinking about heading back to Southeast Asia and I want to see Saigon. And I also want to say - the people of Vietnam are so very welcoming and charming. this video was really fantastic Mr. Mark !
This is a very helpful video,Mark. I’m going back in January, 2023 for a month. Exploring the whole country and visiting Nha Trang where I served during the Vietnam war.
I was visiting Saigon last week. and it was such an amazing experience. I visited the Chuchi Tunnel, the place which make the Vietnamese won over The US army, it was a great place to visit. hopefully, I can visit Saigon again next time.
+aiman acap sure you can find some Halal restaurants, i had also visit one of the restaurant, the owner is Muslim from Singapore. Or you can find Indian restaurants too. they will have the 'halal' sign :D
I went for a month visit over 10 years ago and fell in love with the city, people, food, customs and a woman and stayed. It's my home and am so homesick, having had to return to US for a few years. Hope to get back later this year. My only complaint is my neighborhood is surrounded by McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut and Popeye's Chicken (that overtook one of my favorite Trung Giang coffee shops). My wife has spoiled me with traditional Vietnamese food.
Your videos are awesome! thanks for sharing your passion. We love Vietnam and the food there is to die for. We spent 16 days there when we last traveled. The food states so fresh and the people were so welcoming.
thanks. i was in Bangkok for 2 months earlier this year and it was thanks to your video that gave me loads of ideas for things to do and eat! i'm off to Saigon next week for the 1st time.
Mark and Ying, Really enjoyed this video. Loved the architecture of the buildings and the history- thanks for filming. I am a history buff! Did not realize Vietnam was so beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. :)
Been here 4 times and I just love the place! So much to see, eat and do! Have visited most of the places you reviewed and will go to the others on my next trip. Great vid man! You've really captured the atmosphere of why HCM has a special place in my heart.
I live in Vietnam with my Vietnamese wife for approximately 10 ,I started youtube channel , got the idea from watching your channel but only in Vietnam and Thailand
I'm going to Vietnam next month. Now i'm so excited by all the recommendations you have shown. Thanks so much for this quick video of what to do. Very helpful :)
It’s amazing how far Vietnam has come from such a scary terrifying place to live during the time of the Vietnam War, which wasn’t that long ago, to such a beautiful attraction in such a short time. That place literally used to be hell only just years ago
been there only for two days, just only visited the Behn Tahn Market and the park, as most locals dont speak English, so thank you for this videos.... its a reason for me to get back after this pandemic..... YES INDEED, THEIR FOOD IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE... ty Mark Weins for this Vlog..... SEE YOU SOON HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM
My ex-girlfriend's uncle drove me around this city few years ago. It was like a small tour so I wasn't able to see a lot, but still I can say it was a beautiful city.
I just got back from HCM and Hanoi. The traffic on the street is really crazy there. Crossing the road and riding on a grab were the experience I'll never forget. Food was delicious though!
I am a Vietnamese kid that knows alot of English. BTW The museum u go is my school favorite road trip is so nice to se an America like you intress about our country . Thank u for showing this love ur channel

What a great video! I am making my first trip to Vietnam in October and trying to take a look at everything I can find. This is the best by far. And thanks for the free download books.
Hey Mark. I've watched parts of this before but I watched the whole vid tonight and it's outstanding. You did a great job with this. You can really get around !!
Absolutely amazing city ! Just visited Saigon in early March 2019 and got to do visit most of the places in Mark's video.....excellent informative video ! Crossing the street can be very frightening at first, but then can be a completely exhilarating experience once you learn the rhythm of the traffic.Remember the Vietnam traffic lights :Green.....I can goYellow....I can goRed........I still can goThe Vietnamese people are so friendly and accommodating.....if we ever got lost, strangers would be so nice in helping us out.We found Saigon to be much cleaner and modernized than Ha Noi. I think you got it wrong Nick.....this was a place well worth visiting on our bucket list !
Mark, this video is so in-depth and I love your commentary and info about each location. You really absorb where you are and present it wonderfully. We just don’t deserve you Mark, you are that good!!
Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your video , We are going to Ho CHi Minh next week so it's the first time for us to visit Vietnam, we are so excited!!!!
I was in HCMC last month (July). I visited some of the sites in this video. I did get a chance to ride on the back of a scooter with some friends coming along on theirs. It was really an adventurous experience for someone who is not into riding on scooters. I find going around the round about to be very daring and I'm happy to report that I survived it. I know where I live people would be constantly run over if they had to ride in traffic like that. Crossing the street is really like having the heart of a lion. It takes courage. But from what I heard you have to cross slowly without trying to walk fast that way they go around you. I just think they should make it a little bit easier to visit Vietnam without all those issues getting a visa. I read that the U.S. government complained about the changes in prices for the visa fee. It can vary depending where you get it. The price is not consistent. I think Vietnam would do its tourism a big favor if they do like Thailand and just allow people to show up and give them 21 days right off the bat. It's easy to visit a place if you don't have to worry about time lines and other issues like you can't show up before the visa date stated. When I was in Indonesia a volcano erupted and my travel agency sent me an e-mail because I had to go to Bali. I was thinking of maybe flying directly to Vietnam instead of Bali. But my visa for Vietnam only allowed me entry from a specific date. If I were going to Thailand (which I did in July also) arrival date would never be an issue. Someone ought to tell those legislators in Hanoi to change the law regarding visa entry for Americans.
love the way you talk about 2 last things about local market and street food, so true!! thanks for your great video, hope you have great time in sai gon ..
I have known your video clip since last week, i like your clip in Bangkok, Thailand. I'm Vietnamese, so absolutely i love your video clip in Saigon. I have improved my Ennglish when i watch your video clip, your voice is so clear. I hope to watch more clip in other country and hope to see you in Saigon.
i love the way you presented your video, simple and yet very informative, thank you for sharing your travel experience, now i have an idea on what place to visit there.
Great overview over the city! :) I wish there would be more videos like this about whole Vietnam. I have one question: is it possible to walk the main attractions by foot?
Great times to be had in and around downtown Saigon. So many places to visit as you have shown us. I especially love the many street foods available everywhere. I can't wait to return. I usually visit Lai Thieu, Binh Duong as well...
Nguyen Hoang Tam The comment above was only meant the traffic in Saigon is too busy and looks dangerous for tourists just trying to cross the streets, they are afraid get hit and killed (by motorbikes or cars). They said nothing about Vietnamese people dear!
Great video! Watches like a legitimate documentary. Very informative. I am visiting VN next month and I will visit these recommended places. Thank you.
thank you for your recommendations! I will be heading there this February for the first time so this was very useful there is one thing I'd like to comment and that is about the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden. Please avoid going to these areas and invest your money into donating to organisations that can rescue these poor babies. Even visiting these botanical gardens, you're still keeping that place alive. Zoos should be used for rehabilitation areas NOT for human amusement and entertainment ALONE!! It's disgusting to see these animals suffer in such a confinement and not cared for by experts.
Yes I found an informative and very detailed video about Ho Chi Minh's best places to visit. I can use this in my trip to this place soon. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the E-book and the guide into Saigon. You should go to Hong Kong and make a video of things to do in Hong Kong. I've always wanted to go and I think you would do a magnificent job of showing around Hong Kong.
Thank you Mark for this! You covered the colonialism remains, would be cool to focus on Vietnam and its precolonial heritage as well. Still, good job, will definitely use that knowledge on my trip! :)
great video Mark! thanks for making and sharing this... my wife and I just went to Saigon last week and it was fun... friendly people, good bargains...
I visited Vietnam last year from November-December. Saigon is the city that my mom, my second older sister and I stayed the longest when we're in Vietnam. (more than 6 days) :) Everywhere else was 2-4 days.
Ho Chi Minh City is the most amazing city you will ever visit. I spent a year living in Ho Chi Minh City and it was the most incredible year of my life. This city is so incrediblY energetic and lively.
Do you ever consider what is the real life of Vietnamese people under suppressing of cruel and corrupt communist regime ?

Great times to be had in and around downtown Saigon. So many places to visit as you have shown us. I especially love the many street foods available everywhere. I can't wait to return. I usually visit Lai Thieu, Binh Duong as well...
Thank you for many many of good informations!! It will be so helpful for my traveling to Saigon!
Love your videos M
Thank you for bringing our country to the world. We love you so much!
i want to go back so bad to see my family😭😭 it was o fun i went to almost everywhere u went to
thanks mark ...we are off to Vietnam tomorrow morning...realy love your videos.....cheers from Sydney Australia .
another thing to do is trying to cross the streets in saigon without getting hit and killed
Minh Nguyen Ha, yes, I'm glad I survived!
I'm native here in Saigon and very scared of getting across the streets too :))
@@nicolasdevalestone3085 omg yes!!! Hahaha me and my friends are always careful when crossing the road
Nguyen Hoang Tam The comment above was only meant the traffic in Saigon is too busy and looks dangerous for tourists just trying to cross the streets, they are afraid get hit and killed (by motorbikes or cars). They said nothing about Vietnamese people dear!
I think you should call it Ho Chi Minh City because it is the original name of the city.
Great video! Watches like a legitimate documentary. Very informative. I am visiting VN next month and I will visit these recommended places. Thank you.
thank you for your recommendations! I will be heading there this February for the first time so this was very useful
there is one thing I'd like to comment and that is about the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden. Please avoid going to these areas and invest your money into donating to organisations that can rescue these poor babies. Even visiting these botanical gardens, you're still keeping that place alive. Zoos should be used for rehabilitation areas NOT for human amusement and entertainment ALONE!!
It's disgusting to see these animals suffer in such a confinement and not cared for by experts.
Mark, I have to say, that was one of your best videos. Loved it.
Awesome-Sauce!!!.... My favourite was number 23!! hehe Brought a tear to my eye, my dad lives in Vietnam, at least I know he eats well!!!
I plan to visit Vietnam someday and your videos are a gateway to my dreams !! Love your work and love to your wife and kid !
Been there, amazing place to visit.
Yes I found an informative and very detailed video about Ho Chi Minh's best places to visit. I can use this in my trip to this place soon. Thanks a lot!
Vietnam land of food, history, and just food
try the duck embryo.. normal food is too mainstream.
You shouldnt say that..
Napalm
This video helped me a lot in my travel to Saigon. Now I already uploaded my video about my journey to the historical HCMC!❤️
Thanks for the E-book and the guide into Saigon. You should go to Hong Kong and make a video of things to do in Hong Kong. I've always wanted to go and I think you would do a magnificent job of showing around Hong Kong.
Gilbert Segura You're welcome Gilbert. Got a few videos of Hong Kong coming up soon.
E-book is no longher available
Vietnam so beautiful and friendly. I hope you go to one again
I'm born and raised in Saigon ,then left there when I'm 21.
Just got back from there, coming from that place back to my chill town is such a shock, I come back to Saigon again for sure.
Thank you Mark for this! You covered the colonialism remains, would be cool to focus on Vietnam and its precolonial heritage as well. Still, good job, will definitely use that knowledge on my trip! :)
Haha your subtle knock on colonialism backfires when you said your planning a trip to Vietnam have fun colonizing
Loved the idea of the ebook.
Going to Vietnam in a few weeks and it is very helpful. Thanks!
How about visiting outside Saigon, Like Chu-Chi and Tay-Ninh, and where I was in 1967, Dau-tang... Thank you...
great video Mark! thanks for making and sharing this... my wife and I just went to Saigon last week and it was fun... friendly people, good bargains...
Another great video, thanks for sharing it!

If you guys are in Saigon, you can join the show called Amazing Viet Show at Cach Mang Thang 8 St, It's really a great show.

Logangster!!!!!!!!!
I visited Vietnam last year from November-December. Saigon is the city that my mom, my second older sister and I stayed the longest when we're in Vietnam. (more than 6 days) :) Everywhere else was 2-4 days.
